We're so happy she's still making music! And we're even happier that it's THIS GOOD!!!

We first fell in love with ​Hayley Orrantiawhen she was part of country girl group Lakoda Rayne on the first season of U.S. X Factor. Since then she's gone on to success as an actress on The Goldbergs, but it's so heartening to see she hasn't abandoned music!

The Texas native's new song, Strong Sweet And Southern, is some old school country greatness with just a hint of pop.

As our movie-oriented Perezcious Readers are probably aware, Nicole's character Penny Johnson — portrayed by Cynthia Rhodes in the original — infamously goes through with an illegal abortion in the iconic 1987 film (which is set in 1963, long before Roe v Wade).

Well, during an interview with DailyMail.comon Tuesday, Nicole admitted she nearly passed up on the part due to her family's "hardcore" pro-life political views, saying:

Amidst rumors of physical abuse, Mel B has moved out of the house she shares with her husband, Stephen Belafonte.

Yesterday, luggage and boxes were allegedly seen outside their residence.

Fans became immediately suspicious after the former Spice Girl was seen on Sunday's taping of The X Factor U.K. sporting bruises and scratches on her face and skin — and she was also not wearing her wedding ring.

With Glee returning in just a few short weeks (!!!!), there are a few diehard questions on every fan's mind: Will Klaine get married? Will Rachel Berry get that big role on Broadway?! And what the hell is gonna go down between Santana and her new love interest, played by X Factor's Demi Lovato!

While WE were just ecstatic to learn that Naya Rivera would be getting cuddly with our girl Demi, we knew for sure there would be some who wouldn't be as keen on the idea - and they're called the Brittana Fandom!

Yes, those of you who are holding out hope that Heather Morris will return to the show once more in the role of Brittany and dive back in to sweep sweet Santana off her girlie feet in a moment of pure romance. It is you, and you alone, who seem to have such a huge problem with Demi being on Glee! And so, while at the premiere party for the X Factor in West Hollywood last night, we asked Demi about the response she's gotten from the fandom; to use her word, the fans have been "protective."

Ch-ch-check out the video (above) to hear Demi's response to the Brittana fans and her hope for their support down the line!

Hey… HEY! Santana could do a lot worse. A WHOLE WORLD OF WORSE. You just all need to settle down, all right. Settle yourselves DOWN!
